Overview

A clandestine organization providing assassination and mercenary services, The Agency is well-funded and its reach is worldwide. Credited assassinations have taken place in the Americas, the Pacific Rim, and Eurasia with it rumored to hold a presence on the other continents as well. No proof or trace of the Agency has ever been documented. Its targets are usually high-profile, heavily guarded individuals untouchable by any other means. Although politically neutral and ethically amoral, the Agency prefers the higher profits that come from global stability, and thus they often work for status quo nations against criminal organizations and terrorist networks. However they still primarily render its service to the highest bidder, eliminating established politicians and generals, given the right amount of currency.

It operated an independent cell structure, where the leaders in the inner circle never have any contact with their hirelings. The Agency made use of 'controllers' as go-betweens with its agents. These contractors then provide its freelance operatives, with electronic correspondence and mission briefings. Contractors also sell intelligence briefings on the subjects of missions to their agents for the fee of USD 1,500 per file. In the first game weapons had to be purchased from the Agency themselves (probably taking into account difficulties in moving firearms), whereas in the following games the player selected from a choice of which weapons they had so far collected which they wished to bring with them on the mission. In Hitman: Blood Money, the Agency would (for a fee) retrieve any of the five "custom" weapons the player had left behind in a mission, as much for continuity's sake as anything else.

Codes were used on transferred documents to instruct the agent in how to handle the messenger. This is shown in Hitman: Blood Money where "Code Red" written on a package delivered to 47 indicated that he had to eliminate the courier.

The slogan of the Agency was Merces Letifer which translated to mean Lethal Trade.
